Naptime

This is what Mommy has been doing during naptime {she probably should be sleeping too but oh well!}……

I hate our carpeted stairs but putting in hardwoods on a staircase is way to expensive.  I may have found an alternative!  Stained treads with white risers – beautiful!  The banister needs to be stained darker anyways….  🙂

We got the idea to stain our banister from this blog – Centsational Girl.  She recently redid her laundry room too and I love it!  Since our laundry room shares a home with the downstairs bathroom ours won’t look exactly like this but I love the concept and the colors.

I posted this picture awhile ago.  I still am in need of a new front door {not to mention new windows and a new roof….}.  I want to install a new front door and figure out how to add dimension to the front of our very boring house.  {Any suggestions are welcome!}

One of the bigger projects I want to tackle is the kitchen.  Our cabinets need a facelift and the cheap laminate countertop needs to go!  I really would like a softer and brighter look in the kitchen.

And then there is the master bath.  Where do I even start?  This project won’t probably happen for awhile – mostly because we have no idea where to start.  But we want to open it up, get rid of the ugly builder grade sink {replace with something similar to the above picture}, and update the shower somehow. 

Obviously we have been a bit preoccupied but I really want to get going on some projects soon!  I’m thinking the stairs might be a good place to start…..
Naptime is over!  Back to reality.  🙂
